Anyone in Spain also noticed the strange phenomenon appearing now- good 2D reception just after midnight? It last appeared around the spring equinox and lasts a few weeks. On a 1.25m dish BBC 2 is receivable from 12.10 pm local time until 12.40. Actual result will depend on dish size and location.
It means part of Newsnight can be watched, including Paxman reviewing the papers.
Signal quality peaks at about 40% at 12.25 CET, is the same strength as in the mornings, but appears and disappears very quickly.
Those who get 24/7 reception will of course notice nothing different from usual, it only applies to us here with undersized dishes.
Can someone offer an explanation?
